That is about 16 cents per game.mpaulhttp://Comment on Superdome deal has Super possibilities for the New Orleans Saints and NFLtag:blog.nola.com,2015:/saintsbeat//2246.35308272009-05-02T12:10:45Z2009-05-02T12:10:45ZFirst and foremost I want to point out that I am a born and raised New Orleanian and do not currently live in the GNO area due to my job taking me out of the area, hence the logon name.nycajun63http://Comment on Superdome deal has Super possibilities for the New Orleans Saints and NFLtag:blog.nola.com,2015:/saintsbeat//2246.35268342009-05-01T21:58:57Z2009-05-01T21:58:57ZAwesome!!!
